Abstract
This paper addresses the recent development of millimeter-wave passive components for radar and wireless communication applications by the low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology. Several new design ideas which fully utilize the LTCC multilayer features and the existence of multiple cavity modes in realizing some special performance are summarized, including multi-band filters with flexible band assignments, compact diplexers with single branch configurations, couplers and antennas design with filtering characteristics. Finally, two system-in-package application examples have been demonstrated in 60 GHz frontend phased array for dense wireless communications and micro-radar module for noncontact vital sign detection.
